Tried to follow the HPS route up but it didn't make much sense so I ended up going cross country and finally finding the trail. Went down to the water tank and walked the roads back to my car. Summit block was fun with great holds.

If you're going to bag Butterfly, you may as well bag this rewarding scramble as well. The summit boulder is cool, but I usually chicken out on class 5 with no shoes. The other summit boulders were enough to tickle my fancy. Weather was killah!

Beautiful day for an autumn jaunt through the Desert Divide - love it! This peak is quick and easy to get to with rewards of bouldering along the way AND on top. Cheese Nips can just go crawl in the cave to sign the summit register....we're climbin' it!

What a great day of exploration with Deb around Garner Valley and up onto the Desert Divide! Fun 5th class scrambling lead to the top of this "summit", including some challenging boulder problems on its southern side. Garner Valley as a whole is a great weekend getaway to stuff yourself with unlimited bouldering. We will return!
